Occasional blip from baseball? Really??? Fine..the consistent stream with the consistent blip of ultimate victory. Better? It wasn't always that way, or near to it, when I went to school there. |

You take a good coach, see Tony Bennett (this should be an obvious rebuttal), and you can win anywhere. The question for me is, as OSU's support of MBB every good? I say that because Ralph, like Bennett, was the type of coach that could win anywhere, proving it by taking a different Power 5 (Iowa) and a mid-major (Wichita State) program to the tourney before coming to OSU. So, he may well have been winning in spite of a lack of support, rather than admin being partially responsible for his success. The story for Casey is certainly that he arrived at success in spite of the support the program received from the university. My gut says Ralph was in the same boat, but that history precedes me. |

Ralph's days were a world apart from these days. His teams got nailed for playing Shelton (who I think was under a judge's order to play here after his amateur status was in question) and for selling shoes and tickets, possibly some small loans, a few years later. Those were bigtime crimes supposedly in the day and OSU payed the price. Nowadays there are schools in our league accused of offering 6 figure-ish money to players (according to shoe industry guys) while OSU runs the straight and narrow. Cheating, by those who do, is on a whole different plane than was commonplace back in the 70's and 80's.
